Actually, no. That's not what he wants. Normalization simply adjusts
to 0db. How loud something sounds however is not a simple matter of
what the maximum peak of a waveform is. ReplayGain actually analyzes
the music to tell how loud it *sounds*, not how loud it actually is.
For example, you can have audio that was normalized (0db) but doesn't
sound as loud as, say, -5db audio, but which has compressed dynamic range.
Normalization makes audio equally loud for hardware. ReplayGain makes
audio equally loud for humans. :-)
